Sports: June 2009 Archives

The death of Pop King Michael Jackson will obviously be a topic when the Stan Simpson Show tapes again July 1. In the next few days and months, many will be talking about the musician and his dance magic. In my column Saturday, I'll be talking about the man -- flawed, troubled, yet so magnificently talented.

So, RIP MJ. The King of Pop is dead. Long live the King.

Remember, the Simpson show airs every Sunday, 10 a.m., on Fox 61. But you can catch advanced showings and archived tapings
24-7 by simply coming here to the blog.

Ok, so as promised, here are some of Nick Caito's fresh behind-the-scenes pictures of the new show. The most recent guests were Kevin O'Connor (below laughing) , the former Associate Attorney General for the United States; Entertainment Attorney James Walker (below and pensive) and WTIC NewsTalk 1080 sportscaster Scott Gray (to the right

The guests were Dick Robinson, founder of the CT School of Broadcasting; Desmond Conner, UConn football beat writer; and Juan Figueroa, president of the Universal Health Care Foundation.
